The Importance of Choice: Major Grade

     Everyday, we are faced with so many choices which is often overwhelming, and can feel a little scary. Lately in school, we have been talking about the quote, "You don't choose a life... you live one" from the book and movie, The Way. Although this quote says you don't choose, I feel like it really brings up the idea that you make a choice everyday of whether or not you wallow in the things you can't control or live the life you've been blessed with. Just live your life. Often times, we are faced with decisions and don't know just how to react. I have heard that in situations like these, toss a coin, and for that brief moment it's in the air, you know which side you're hoping it will land on.

This means that not every decision is an easy one but there is always something in your head that knows what you really want, even when the rest of you doesn't. This voice is often pushed aside nowadays because of everything going on around us that is out of our control - the parts of our life that we don't choose. The important thing is to live your life and choose to listen to that voice, no matter what you can't control
